Tom Lydon, Chuck Jaffe Talk ETF of the Week: Low-Volatility Funds | ETF Trends

Click here to listen.

I do the “ETF of the Week” for MarketWatch every Thursday on Chuck Jaffe’s MoneyLife Show where I highlight big movers and disappointments within the exchange traded fund market.

This Thursday, I focused on the PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (NYSEArca: SPLV). The low volatility fund has held up remarkably well, even outperforming broad indices, as the markets continue to see large oscillations. [An Overview of Low-Volatility ETFs]
